State Capital Notes.

AUSTIN, Jan. II. - The Winship
Manufacturing Company, of Corsi-
cana, with a capital of $4,000, filed a
charter to-day.
Mr.. Ladd, of Kansas City, agent for
Robert Burnett and other European
capitalists, paid into the treasury to-
day $4,000 on school lands in Dick
ems and Cara counties. This is one
of the largest single payments made
to the State for some time past, and
goes to the credit of the permanent
school fund.
A wreck Of a freight train on the
Houston 81 Texas Central is reported
here to-day as occurring near Paige,
Where north bound freight train
had rear collision with a construction
train, left upon the main track. Some
six or seven cars were derailod, but no
accident to life or limb is reported.
The collision caused the springing of
the throttle on the engine of the con-
struction train, sending it off without
a crew, but as little water was in the
boiler no danger is apprehended from
q wild train. The wreck has caused a
delay in passenger trains.

Gould Interviewed.

ST.. LOUIS, Jan. 1l.-Jay Gould ar
rived in this city yesterday and from
here will 60 south over his railroad
lines ON tour Of inspection. In an
interview Mr.. Gould said he was not
actively interested in Wabash
affairs, but was interested in
having now separate lines work
harmoniously, and in an ultimate
reorganization of the system. He
also said neither the Missouri Pacific
nor the Texas Pacific would make any
extensions until the fate of the inter-
state commerce bill should be decided.
He considered that if the bill passed
it would greatly injure the
general interests of the west, as
well as its railroad business. He was
not prepared to 60 into details on the
subject, but would venture the asser.
tion that should the bill pass 1t would
take but very few years to convince
the public it was an unwise measure.
